According to Martin, a wardrobe audit consists of:

* - Sorting through your wardrobe to determine what's needed and what’s not
* - Identifying which styles best suit your body shape
* - Eliminating unworn or ill-fitting clothing
* - Identifying missing items to fill in any gaps
* - Donating excess items or selling them on consignment

Says Martin, “Many of my clients are surprised at how much of their existing wardrobe is not even being used; and how much cash is just sitting in their closet. It's also great when they are able to donate unused items to those who are less fortunate - it's a win/win situation".

After purging a wardrobe, Martins suggests mixing and matching remaining items and stocking up on wardrobe essentials; as classic fabrics and styles are back for Fall 2009 in new shapes and modern fits. Martin also suggests focusing on quality and not quantity when it comes to deciding which items to keep and which to toss.

“In today's economy, the key to creating a stylish wardrobe is simple: go back to the basics. With just a few quality items, a man can create a wardrobe that allows him to easily switch between casual and professional - and it doesn't have to cost a fortune. “

Martin is a professional Image Stylist who gears her services to an under-served market: men. As owner of Stealth Styling, Martin provides image consulting services for men, including fashion advice, wardrobe consultation, personal shopping and even dating etiquette coaching. Martin's client range from CEO's looking to land the next big deal, to bachelors hoping to find Ms. Right.

Stallone, "Bullets are easy , emotions are hard"

I like two types of films, action and westerns, both with guns, balls and beautiful women. Bullets and blood are exactly how Sly closed out his infamous Rambo franchise and as a director he has learned a vital ingredient in filmmaking-to surround oneself with the finest in the trade that can compliment the grittiness and violence his more recent films are known for.

You Don't Have to Do It Alone

How many wonderful ideas have never been put out in world because their creator was afraid of appearing foolish? How many people have stifled their creativity because of fear? How many of you have never allowed your creative vision to become reality for fear of asking for help or creating a partnership? Far too many, I'm afraid.

Arizona Fishing Report Sept. 1

With dove season being open (Sept. 1), it's a good time for a cast-n-blast trip, especially along the lower Colorado River.

Yuma has the prime dove hunting with all of its agricultural fields. During the past two weeks, however, I witnessed lots of doves all along the Colorado River from the Topock Gorge to Yuma (and also lots of fat quail for October fin and feather trips).

The American. Self-Consciously Somber

Usually, when the only critics screening of a star-driven spy thriller is just two days before opening, it's an indication that there's a problem. And there is. This is not an action movie, and it's certainly not a conventional thriller. Not that it isn't intriguing. It is - if you're into meditative, minimalist, non-commercial, European-style filmmaking.

I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, Grade: B

Decisions by the Supreme Court can be predictable. You just know well in advance, that the current court will vote 5-4 on some issues like the legality of Proposition 8 or whether corporations can donate unlimited amounts of money to candidates. Jurors are different. They can be unpredictable, even ignoring the law as related by the judge's instructions. For example: let's say that in summing up a case the judge tells the jury, "If you agree that the defendant committed premeditated murder, you may vote "guilty of murder one." Let's say you're sitting on a jury handling a case in which the defendant admittedly cut, chopped, broken and burned five men, all thoroughly planned out. That's murder one, no?
